The Chinese side deplores and firmly opposes the Canadian side's obstinately moving forward the so-called judicial process of extradition against Ms. Meng Wanzhou and has lodged stern representations.

China's position on the case of Meng Wanzhou is clear-cut and firm. The US and Canada have abused their bilateral extradition agreement and arbitrarily taken compulsory measures on a Chinese citizen, which constitutes a serious violation of the legal rights and interests of the Chinese citizen. This is a severe political incident. We once again urge the US side to immediately withdraw the arrest warrant and extradition request for Ms. Meng Wanzhou and urge the Canadian side to immediately release Ms. Meng Wanzhou and ensure that she returns to China safe and sound.
